It's that time again. Mary Landrieu is running for re-election to the U.S. Senate, and once again, in come the editorials and letters by her big supporters claiming we must re-elect Sen. Landrieu because she is this great supporter of Louisiana's oil and gas industry.

One only need to use Google to find a recent Wall Street Journal article, "Mary Landrieu and All That Jazz," which reveals that while Sen. Landrieu claims to support our industry, her PAC donates money to some of the most anti-oil and gas industry members of Congress.

If you want to support a big government, pro-Obamacare member of the Senate, then fine. However, stop trying to sell us on how much of a friend she is to our energy industry.

The donations out of Sen. Landrieu's Jazz PAC and her support of a healthcare law that will mean extra costs upon small businesses and self-employed workers in our industry tell a completely different story.
